Is that a Wisp?

Three days later, the group of four approached the vicinity of the Mountain Sect when Tina and Gegrafikan gawked at its sheer size. Noticing that it was hovering in the air, they asked simultaneously, "How did such a massive floating island appear here?"

"It was actually constructed," Zamura replied. "It took us a lot of time to make this."

"You…made it?" Tina asked in shock.

"Five of us worked together to create it," Zamura laughed as he clarified. "All of us have a variety of interesting powers. And when combined, it resulted in what you see before you."

"What about the resources required to create this? You need a continent's worth of resources to make this." Gegrafikan said in shock, having traveled through numerous continents in his life.

A Spirit Aberration was different from other species. They didn't have the concept of natural death. He had been alive for countless millennia, roaming through various continents in search of the Beast Tamer Spiritual Incarnation, trailing it from the traces left behind in various races.

Due to that, he had enough experience to judge that the resources required to construct the massive feat before him weren't something a group of lone cultivators could possess.

"Everything here was procured by us alone," Krune said with a hint of pride. "Well, you'll understand more once you enter it."

Soon, they arrived at the flight of stairs leading into the sect, entering it when a light shone on Tina and Gegrafikan, engraving the tattoo of a mountain on their foreheads. Both were white tattoos, showing their designation as Outer Disciples.

"A Monster Gecko would tell you everything you need to know about the sect. The symbol on your forehead means that you are members of the Mountain Sect." Saying his piece, Krune opened the entrance to his subspace, bringing out a clone while he and Zamura entered it.

The clone then walked towards one of the buildings, entering it to proceed with its respective tasks.

"A Monster Gecko?" Tina was surprised as she made eye contact with Gegrafikan, clearly aware of what this species was. After all, during their stay at Layer 3 of the Sub-Realm, the Monster Geckos were waging war with humanity.

"New members?" Suddenly, the raspy voice of a woman jolted them to their senses, causing them to turn around to see a woman with an angular face, possessing sharp features. However, upon seeing their looks and the white mountain symbol on their foreheads, the lady nodded, saying as she walked forward, "Follow me."

Tina noticed that the woman also had the same white mountain symbol on her forehead, realizing that she was also an Outer Disciple of the Mountain Sect.

As the two followed her, she led them towards a massive hall that was situated a hundred meters away from the sect's entrance. There was a large plaque overhead. The words engraved on it said, 'The Hall of Logistics.'

"This is where you'll register yourself and obtain the basic necessities for your stay." Saying so, she led them into the building, bringing them towards a counter where a lady that looked similar to her added their names into a register.

She then inscribed their names on coral slabs, scanning the sizes of Tina and Gegrafikan using her Divine Sense before taking out appropriate clothes for them.

The lady that led them into the building handed them over their respective clothes and the coral slabs. "There are three sets of your sect uniform here. This is the only piece of clothing you must wear while conducting sect affairs. If you want more, you can purchase them in the market. I'll guide you there later. There are also sect uniforms with multiple designs."

She then pointed at the coral slabs as she continued explaining, "As for these, they are the most important. Everything related to your identity is recorded in them. There's a small formation embedded in them that tracks your contribution points and has been synchronized with the Contribution Tower. It also keeps track of your whereabouts. So, in the case of you getting lost outside, we'll be able to track you using them."

"There are numerous missions and quests that are handed out at the Mission Tower. You can perform them and be awarded contribution points. These contribution points allow you to exchange for weapons, pills, equipment, cultivation techniques, passive abilities, active abilities, Quasi Spiritual Marks, and so on," she continued. "Your coral slabs keep track of everything."

"As an Outer Sect Disciple, you'll be awarded 100 contribution points every month. Then again, it's hardly enough to develop yourself. After all, a single Body Development Pill costs that much." She rambled on, realizing that they weren't following her train of thought as she spoke, "Oh, a Body Development Pill can increase your body weight by one kilogram. It's a must for your body cultivation journey."

"However, only Inner Sect Disciples have access to that." She laughed, continuing, "Anyway, to become an Inner Sect Disciple, you must accumulate 10,000 contribution points. With that, if you don't wish to waste your life, you should hurry up with the tasks."

She then took out a book from her spatial ring, having gone over to each. "Everything I'm saying is written in it. You can look at it later for reference."

She then arrived before a building that was shaped like a dome, entering it as she pointed at a large stone slab situated in the center. "That is the Myriad Energies Technique. It will allow you to have the fastest cultivation speed. It would also allow you to develop Godly Meridians, which are the most potent form of meridians one could have to cultivate."

"You can come here later to learn the technique." She then led them towards a library of sorts, explaining as she pointed at the innumerous books and scrolls situated in countless racks, "This here is the general library. Any information you wish to know about is available here. Though, it's still in the process of being filled up. There are missions related to that as well. If the information you provide could be verified, it would be placed here, and you'll be awarded the necessary contribution points."

"This is one of the easiest means to obtain contribution points." Gegrafikan laughed, confident in his treasure trove of knowledge.

The lady didn't react to his boast, calmly guiding them towards another building when Tina suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Aren't they…Black Demons?"
